Park Commission Minutes <br /> July 14, 2016 <br /> Page 2 <br /> The Association does have money to contribute to the project, as the estimates <br /> do not include any seeds or plants. <br /> Mr. Jurchen visited the park earlier in the day and stated the upper steps from <br /> the park to the old road bed are in fairly good condition and suggested some <br /> minor repair could be done to allow access from the park to the old road bed, the <br /> pathway to the new fishing pier location. These steps could be improved over <br /> time. <br /> (Commissioner Bryan arrived at 5:08 p.m.) <br /> Mr. Jurchen further stated the south end of the path could begin eroding with new <br /> foot traffic. Plantings could be used and leave that area natural. Earlier <br /> discussions included adding steps to access the south end; easier access to the <br /> path would be to use the existing steps at the top. Replacement of those steps in <br /> the future could cost between $20,000 and $30,000. <br /> The majority of the work will be provided by Schrupp Excavating and the in-kind <br /> labor will be needed over a couple of weekends for planting of the shrubs and <br /> trees. The Park Commission will gather a list of volunteers. Chair Ronning <br /> reminded the Commission that the Lions Club has indicated they want to <br /> promote their group and may wish to volunteer. <br /> b. Babinski Family Playground Dedication July 16 <br /> Commissioner Adams reminded the Commission the dedication is this coming <br /> Saturday at 2:00 p.m. and would appreciate their attendance. Community Action <br /> is coordinating the refreshments and providing the necessary items for the ribbon <br /> cutting. <br /> 5. Healthy Community Grant— Update <br /> Dawn Bittner informed the Park Commission that the narrative due July 15 had <br /> been submitted, along with photos, the Mayo Park brochure with logos added <br /> and the newspaper article. <br /> Dawn Bittner presented a photograph of the new Mayo Park directional sign <br /> which has been placed along Hurtig Road. <br /> Commissioner Adams informed Mike Loven that a bench needs to be added by <br /> the climbing dome and updated the Commission that St. Croix Recreation <br /> donated 4 bike racks. The City has 2 Curly-Q bike racks. Mike Loven stated <br /> concrete will be placed under the benches, picnic table and bike racks; funds for <br /> the concrete will come from the grant. It was the consensus of the Park <br />
